[S.T.D.]

There seems to be many myths surroundings Thiruvalluvar. Some say he's from mylApUr, some others say he's from kanyakumari. There's also stories about Valluvar being AuvaiyAr's Brother and he had a virtuous obediant wife called vAsuki.

However it seems like the only thing we know about Thiruvalluvar with certainity is that he wrote thirukkuRaL and his time is between kazhaka kAlam and silappathikArak kAlam.

Anyways I found an article pondering about thiruvalluvar's possible origin (since his possible first arangERRam is...) is from perungkuLam. Can somebody tell me where is this perungkuLam located, (is this in mylappUr?). Here is the link...

From this article I also happen to learn that thiruvE thiru ArumkanAvalar of Jaffna, was the first to transfer thirukkuRaL from Olaichchuvadi to print!
